Yes, the president has just to take it, like every other individual as well. The president has no more power over the media than any other citizen even if he likes to think otherwise. Trying to bash and control media are clear signs of someone who would rather like to be a dictator than a democratic leader.

If anything the president should be even more professional than any other individual in the country. He is doing the opposite right now despite being the top role model of an entire country. If he can't take the heat from the media he chose the wrong office to run for. Which is funny, since he always like to present himself as the absolute alpha male and at the same time is running for his safe space the moment he gets attacked.

Uhhh... no. Inviduals don't have to just take it, they can respond. The difference is public figures have less rights when it comes to defamation.

I'm not implying the president should use his power to silence the media, I'm saying he's allowed to respond. Quite frankly, Trump responding has hurt CNN because they're idiots and demonstrate it when they respond to Trump.

Again, the media is very unfair to Trump so I think its good he challenges them. CNN has gone from one the most respected news outlets to a joke. Trump has challenged the media that attacks him and his response has mostly been in his favor.

I don't really care how a president SHOULD act, Trump was never supposed to be the traditional president. I credit Trump for putting a spotlight on the media and it ultimately showed its mostly garbage.

Telling lies about the media shows nothing more than it's apparently ok for the president to constantly lie to defame his enemies. Let's not kid ourselves, the vast majority he said about the media are clearly lies.

We shouldn't give credit to a pathological liar when he sometimes by accident gets something right.
